Han was a minor chinese state under the Zhou dynasty,[1] located in present-day Jiangsu province. It was established by sinicized refugees from the central plains, who established a new vassal state in the Shugang Hills [zh] (simplified Chinese: 陈国; traditional Chinese: 陳國; pinyin: Shǔgāngshān) to the southeast of Zhou kingdom.[2] Its capital—also named Han—was located in the southern area of present-day Huai'an municipality. By the early Spring and Autumn period at the latest, Han was conquered by the state of Wu,[2] whose King Fuchai named his Han Canal [zh] (simplified Chinese: 邗沟; traditional Chinese: 邗溝; pinyin: Hángōu) and Hancheng (at present-day Yangzhou) after it.
